Grammy Awards Zing!s

Not sure which was more irritating: the insipid sound quality on the Grammy Awards show or WCTV beeping in every 3 minutes to let us know there was a tornado watch.

Did we get enough weather warnings during Grammys ?

My words will forever RIZ (Rest In Zing)

Leave it to Slick Rick to try to pass off a gambling compact as "Family Friendly"

I was channel surfing when I came upon the Republican debate. I watched for at least fifteen minutes before I realized it wasn't Jerry Springer.

It is totally disrespectful to criticize a man while his family is still grieving.

The bickering over the Supreme Court Justice replacement is so wrong at the wrong time.

My God! Let the family of Justice Scalia have their grieving time and lets honor the man for his service to the country.

Excuse me, Zinger, the Second Amendment is about "a well regulated militia." How many of you gun nuts belong to one?

Some left wing rag floated the idea of Eric Holder for the Supreme Court and it sank as quickly as the Bismarck.

Put one Vegas style casino in downtown, and Tallahassee would be a destination city, having first class restaurants, top notch hotel, and endless entertainment 24 hours a day, with no tax dollars being given away.

Did Keith Jones actually watch the end of the FSU/Miami basketball game?

I keep reading about the Kinsey Collection. When do we get the prurient details of the Kinsey Reports?

The Republican candidates make for entertaining theater, but can you really see any one of them as the "leader of the free world?" Didn't think so...

To the Zinger who skipped math classes, the President has approximately 20% of his time left in office not a quarter or 25%. Numbers matter.

If you are driving to Atlanta to save money on a flight, you must not put any value on you time. My time is valuable.

All these conservative "constitutionalists" are not so much now when it comes to replacing Justice Scalia. 'The President...shall nominate...Judges of the supreme Court".

God help this Nation with those that have been bestowed the right and privilege of voting for the leaders of this Democracy. God help us!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot America. Do you really want a socialist country? God help the brainless.

If a sick friend skips a hunting party to sleep in, check on him before lunch. What dummies did Scalia hunt with?

As CEO of Christians Against Dinosaurs I demand our "intelligent" Florida lawmakers purge dinosaurs from public school curriculums.

I didn't attend Scalia's funeral but I did send a card saying "I highly approve of this."

Rafael Eduardo Cruz is wonderful! He tried to shut down government for personal gain and he mocked V.P. Biden for his son's death.

The 2nd Amendment guarantees the existence of a suitably well armed populace in the event of a national crisis, such as confronting enemies foreign or domestic.

Liberal decoder: Partisan hack - one who disagrees with a Democrat; Racist - one who disagrees with a black Democrat; Hater - one who disagrees with any Democrat; Intolerant - One who provokes a tolerant liberal with contrary opinions.

Republicans...block Loretta Lynch as the new Justice of the SCOTUS and you lose African-Americans, Latinos and Women and you put Hillary Clinton in the white house! President Obama has out smarted you again!

Justice Scalia will be well remembered by those people who long for the days when proud Americans walked free in a free country.

Having a degree from a liberal college indicates a student who did not see thru the smoke and mirrors before the progressive cancer metastasized.

With Antonin Scalia now gone, how in the world will Clarence Thomas know what to think.

Ironically, most shootings occur in the states and cities with the strictest gun control laws. Laws clearly don't control the lawless.

Okay, Marion Hammer, time to wash off the mud and spittle and apply another coat of Teflon. Keep fighting the good fight for constitutional rights, lady. You rock!

Of course corporations aren't people, but they are treated as if they were for certain aspects of certain laws.

Recess appointments to the judiciary undermine the spirit of the Constitution so expect it.

When you report to DCF that your EBT benefits are overdue, kindly tell them for me that mine are 50 years overdue and I'd like a retroactive lump sum payment.

Move along, nothing to see here if you've read "The Pelican Brief".

COMMON SENSE HILLARY, NEED TO KNOW HILLARY? MANY OF US IN THE MILITARY DEALT WITH SENSITIVE, CLASSIFIED, TOP SECRET, AND UNMARKED CLASSIFIED AND WE DIDN'T LAUGH IT OFF LIKE YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS!

Gill Ziffer has said "they" would open a charter school if LCS does not act. Please open one...accountability and school grades to follow...please do more than Jet Blue pledge slips.

The POTUS is going to take the SCOTUS and send "Citizens United" and corporate rule out to sea on a boatus.

Gerald Ensley forgot to mention the most important reason people don't 'stroll' in Tallahassee. ..it's too bloody hot 10 months out of the year.

There are more left wing-nut Zing!s because this is Tallahassee. No mystery there. But the large number of stupid left wing-nut Zing!s is more of a generic national trend.

The difference between the educated Trump voter and the Clinton voter is the former knows killers run the world because Trump is not afraid of telling the truth.

In 2007, leftist democrat Chuck Schumer told a leftist legal group the Senate should prevent Bush from nominating a Supreme Court justice for 18 months. Look up leftist in the dictionary and hypocrite is the first entry.

How many fat cat lobbyists, politicians, etc. will benefit from sewer installation at their homes south of Wakulla Springs instead of the Springs itself?

If your legislator votes for fracking, you know they are on the take.

With the death of Justice Scalia, a new level of snarkiness is about to take center stage.

Elections are no longer decided by the people, they are determined by the media. We could save a lot of stress, time and money by just letting the them pick the winners.

The Supreme Court nomination is a good way for Obama to cut down on the list of Democratic candidates for the presidency.

Scalia's dead - time to buy another gun.

Interesting that Rubio and Cruz praised Scalia for his strict interpretation of the Constitution then they decided Article II meant that a President in his last year of office has no powers and can't appoint a Supreme Court Justice

Sure looks like we are headed for a second civil war in the United States. Time to choose sides and circle the wagons.

Cartoonist on editorial page appears to have been drinking a little too much of the Kapitalist Koolaide.

Why should any be permitted to log in "we peoples" state park? I vote NO.

There are those who create and produce wealth, and those who take it and redistribute it. We should think very seriously when casting our vote for those who will lead our country.

According to my Republican friends, the constitution should be like this: White presidents get 4 years, and black presidents get 3 years to nominate a justice.

You reap what you sow, Goldberg. No segment in this country has generated more wacky conspiracy theories than the far right. This week it's Obama had Scalia murdered.

Always amazes me how the liberals constantly ignore facts. The Republicans did not start the controversy about Scalia's replacement. Obama did in his condolence speech, probably while the body was still warm. He said "I" will do my Constitutional duty and appoint a replacement. He did use "I" less times than normal and "I" was glad to see that he uncharacteristiclly recognized that we do have a Constitution.

The main difference between stupid and uneducated is that you just can't fix stupid.

Marco's new "Morning in America" ad opens with footage of a Canadian city with a boat flying a Canadian Flag in the foreground. Looks like a good place to go if Marco's vision for America comes to pass.

Will the Congress members who promised a work slowdown/stoppage still get paid if they carry out their threat?

Dubya and Jeb together is like Scrooge seeing the ghost of Christmas past and future if he doesn't change his ways. How scary. Somehow, the legislature and land conservation just don't seem to go together, like oil and water. Sorry Jeb, but when I see brother George I just can't get past Iraq, Afghanistan, and the great recession. Is your campaign that desperate?

Someone tell Mitch McConnell the majority of Americans were already involved in deciding who should appoint Justice Scalia's successor, when they reelected President Obama in 2012.

What would Scalia, the champion of originalism, say to the Senate republicans about not embracing their Constitutional duties.

How to maximize a display of support for Amtrack: have the rally start at 2 PM on a work day

Mitch McConnell announcing the Senate won't consider any President Obama Supreme Court nominee is like a football coach announcing his team will clip on kickoff.

Glad they got the atonal profane poetry category over quickly at the Grammys. Stevie Wonder and the Pentatonix tribute for Maurice White and the Eagles were worth the rapping pain.

Wasn't Scott Maddox investigated and it caused taxpayers to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on defending him through the complaints?

Before you advocate for taking funding away from programs for gifted children in favor of additional support for poverty-level students, keep in mind that what you plant in your garden is what feeds you.

Definition of ethical standards: Principles that when followed, promote values such as trust, good behavior, fairness, and/or kindness. This definition does not seem to define the behavior of Mr. Hanna and Ms. Striplin.

Trump and Dubya think it is humane to water board my son if he is captured in Afghanistan. Water board them and see what they say.

Jonah Goldberg appears to have discovered the secrets of NewsMax's Digital Marketing Department

That "adult" actress knew her ad was for Ted Cruz. And she got paid more than minimum wage. Justice is sweet.

Does wearing a red tie cause ugly words to be expelled from the knot?

Scalia's bedroom not scheduled to be cleaned until after lunch? Or did it take that long to clean up?

Which BFFs was Scalia hunting with? Did they decide no autopsy?

"It is for our own good to know the cause of death." Texas Justice of the Peace.

Scalia got his last rites, now more people may get their rights at last.

Scalia may now excel among men of his stature. On his back. Looking up.

Just what is the obsession on the right with Obama using a Teleprompter? Reagan always used one.

Does death by natural causes include God deciding you are too vile to live?

Autopsy vs. Belief? Scalia wanted in my bedroom, tell us what happened in his bedroom.

Scalia can support a dead constitution now without conflict. RIP.

Anytime you hear someone talk about "common sense" legislation, you can bet that far more often than not, that "common sense" has little or nothing to do with it.

The Republicans say the American people should have a say in who the next Supreme Court Justice is. They did when President Obama was overwhelmingly re-elected and now the right would deny them their say.
